“…Work carried out by Fonseca et al, (2004) showed that sisal polyester composites resulted a tensile strength, tensile modulous, impact strength of 7 MPa, 1.7GPa and 328±65 respectively. However, the elongation at break (1.7%) found to be higher than that of the similar polyester sisal composites as reported by Singh et al, (1996). A 69% decrease on tensile strength and a 46% decrease on elongation at break were observed with sisal addition for the polyester-sisal composites.…”

“…They concluded that, compared to thermoset resin composites, sisal fibre-low density polyethylen (LDPE) composites showed a better reinforcing effect due to the high matrix ductility and high strength/modulus ratio of sisal fibres as compared to that of LDPE matrix. Singh et al(1996) have studied the effect of several chemical treatments, such as organotitanate, zirconate, silane, and Nsubstituted methacrylamide, on the physical and mechanical properties of sisal fiber reinforced unsaturated polyester resin composites. An improvement in the mechanical properties was observed when sisal fibers were modified with surface treatments.…”

“…It was found that exposure of sisal fibre to gamma-irradiation increased the dc conductivity, which has been explained on the basis of microstructure. Singh et al (1998) have studied the adsorptive interaction between sisal fibre and coupling agents using contact angle measurements and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. It was found that high contact angle and reduced hydroxyl groups on titanate-treated fibres favor its better hydrophobicity over the other treatments.…”

The global demand for wood as a building material is steadily growing, while the availability of this natural resource is diminishing. This situation has led to the development of alternative materials. Of the various synthetic materials that have been explored and advocated, polymer composites claim a major participation as building materials. There has been a growing interest in utilizing natural fibres as reinforcement in polymer composite for making low cost construction materials in recent years. Natural fibres are prospective reinforcing materials and their use until now has been more traditional than technical. They have long served many useful purposes but the application of the material technology for the utilization of natural fibres as reinforcement in polymer matrix took place in comparatively recent years. Economic and other related factors in many developing countries where natural fibres are abundant, demand that scientists and engineers apply appropriate technology to utilize these natural fibres as effectively and economically as possible to produce good quality fibre reinforced polymer composites for housing and other needs. Among the various natural fibres, sisal is of particular interest in that its composites have high impact strength besides having moderate tensile and flexural properties compared to other lignocellulosic fibres. The present paper surveys the research work published in the field of sisal fibre reinforced polymer composites with special reference to the structure and properties of sisal fibre, processing techniques, and the physical and mechanical properties of the composites.Key words: sisal fibre, polymer, composites, structure, properties COMPÓSITOS POLIMÉRICOS REFORÇADOS COM FIBRAS DE SISAL RESUMOO uso da madeira como material de construção continua crescendo mundialmente enquanto a disponibilidade deste recurso natural está diminuindo. Esta situação tem conduzido ao desenvolvimento de materiais alternativos. Dentre os vários materiais sintéticos que têm sido explorados, os compósitos poliméricos reivindicam e buscam uma maior participação como material de construção. Nos últimos anos tem se observado um crescente interesse na utilização de fibras naturais como reforço de matrizes poliméricas para a produção de materiais de baixo custo. As fibras naturais são reforços com grande potencialidade e seu uso tem se dado de forma mais tradicional do que científica. Elas têm se prestado a inúmeras aplicações ao longo do tempo, mas a aplicação da tecnologia dos materiais visando a sua utilização como reforço de matrizes poliméricas é relativamente recente. As dificuldades econômicos e sociais observadas em muitos dos países em desenvolvimento, onde as fibras naturais são abundantes, requerem que cientistas e engenheiros apliquem tecnologias apropriadas para utilizar estas fibras da forma mais eficiente possível, de tal maneira que se possa produzir materiais compósitos poliméricos de boa qualidade visando a atender a demanda da população por habitações e componentes habi...

“…Brazil is the largest producer of sisal fibers in the world 120,000 t per year with yields of around 800-1200 kg/ha, and accounts for 58% of the world production. In the industry, sisal is transformed into several varieties of yarns, cords, mats and blankets, being used for making various products, such as in reinforcing plastic composites, where researchers have shown promising results 21,[23][24][25] . Another material with potential uses are the fibers from the husk of coconuts and these fibers are commonly know as coir, which after processing, produces long and short fibers.…”

Coir and Sisal Fibers as Fillers in the Production of Eucalyptus Medium Density Particleboards - MDP

et al. 2016

The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential use of sisal and coir fibers in combination with Eucalyptus particles for the production of particleboard. The particleboards were produced in three layers. The first and third layers (face) were made with small Eucalyptus particles. The second layer (core) was made with big Eucalyptus particles in combination with coir or sisal fibers. The particleboards were prepared with the substitution on Eucalyptus wood for sisal and coir fibers in the particleboards core, in doses of 0, 10, and 20%, relative to the total mass of particles. The particleboards were characterized by mechanical, physical and thermal properties. The results were not satisfactory for particleboards with sisal. However, for coir particleboards the physical-mechanical properties were very similar to those particleboards produced only with Eucalyptus. This work demonstrates the potential use of the coir that is commonly disposed in landfills on the Brazilian beaches.
